SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Read subtask.md checkbox state and route to the next skill. The ONLY routing point in the execution loop.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads subtask.md checkbox state to determine the next action in the execution chain.
  • Routes to the next required skill (code, test, gate-check, or subtask-update) without modifying source files.
  • Handles context loss by re-reading state and preserving loop safety, with clear guidance when multiple subtasks are found or when manual resolution is needed.

Quick Start

Run autoworker:dispatch to route the current subtask to the next required skill based on its status.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate workflow routing based on subtask state?▼

Route tasks through the autoworker loop by inspecting subtask.md status fields and gate results to determine the next action, invoking the appropriate skill based on fixed priority.

What is a state machine approach for subtask execution loops?▼

A state machine approach for subtask execution reads status fields to determine the next action, routing to code, test, gate-check, or subtask-update skills based on fixed priority without running code directly.

How do I determine the next action in an automation workflow without losing context?▼

Preserve loop safety by re-reading subtask.md state to determine the next action, providing clear guidance when multiple active subtasks are found or when manual resolution is needed.

Can I use a routing skill to run tests or modify source code directly?▼

No, this routing skill does not modify source files, run tests, or execute code; it only reads state and invokes autoworker skills like code, test, gate-check, or subtask-update as appropriate.

What happens when multiple active subtasks are found during workflow routing?▼

When multiple active subtasks are found during workflow routing, the system provides clear guidance for manual resolution rather than automatically choosing one, ensuring safe execution loop handling.
